Tour of Bargerveen and the German border area

Coevorden is a beautiful old town, with Castle Coevorden as a radiant center. A place with history, because the first castle was already here around 1025. Would you also like to see how more than half of the Netherlands was there three thousand years ago? Then drive along the Bargerveen where you can see a remnant of what was once a gigantic swamp area. It is a unique piece of old high moorland, where you will find special plants and animals. In the center of Schoonebeek you can still see a pumpjack from the time that oil was extracted here (from 1943 to 1996). You can also see the whitewashed Huis Middendorp, which actually consists of four houses. There is a gas factory next to it from 1867.
